WINCHESTER OLD. C. M. From ALISON'S Psalter. 1599. ING to the Lord a new-made song, With His right hand and holy arm The Lord has through the astonish'd world And made His righteous acts appear Of Israel's house His love and truth Of Israel's God have seen. Let therefore earth's inhabitants Resound their Maker's praise. OLD 100TH PSALM. L. M. · GUILLAUME FRANC. Geneva, about 1543.* d d d d P At C. I.—(1, 2, 3, 4.) LL people that on earth do dwell, O. V. Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice: Without our aid He did us make; Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His Name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure; WITH one consent let all the earth From whom both we and all proceed; The flock that He vouchsafes to feed. O enter then His temple-gate, Thence to His courts devoutly press, His mercy is for ever sure; And shall from age to age endure. II.—(1, 2, 3, 4. 8. 12, 13.) N. v. MY soul, inspired with sacred love, God's holy Name for ever bless; Of all His favours mindful prove, And still thy grateful thanks express. Tis He that all thy sins forgives, And after sickness makes thee sound; From danger He thy life retrieves, By Him with grace and mercy,crown'd. The Lord abounds with tender love, And unexampled acts of grace; So far has He our sins removed, CIII. III.-(19, 20, 21, 22.) N. v. THE Lord, the universal King, In heaven has fix'd His lofty throne; To Him, ye Angels, praises sing, In whose great strength His pow'r is shown. Ye that His just commands obey, And hear and do His sacred will, Ye hosts of His, this tribute pay, Who still what He ordains fulfil. Let ev'ry creature jointly bless The mighty Lord: and thou, my heart, With grateful joy thy thanks express, And in this concert bear thy part. |
